College-Bred Negro American eBook

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. In 1900 the Atlanta University Negro Conference made an investigation of the college graduates among Negro Ameri cans. The study received widespread publicity and did much towards clearing up misapprehension in regard to educated colored people. Ten years later we return to the same investigation aided by an appropriation of from the Trustees of the John F. Slater Fund. The results are based on college catalogs, letters of officials and the reports of 800 Negro graduates. This is, therefore, far from an exhaustive study, but it has much value.
